Another important feature of Leica M cameras - the vibration-free and whisper-quiet shutter release - has also been fully retained. This is a key advantage for capturing the “magic moment“, which is so characteristic of outstanding photography. far shorter than with an ordinary SLR camera. Despite the electronic control the delay in triggering the shutter is only 12 milliseconds, i.e. Two mechanically controlled shutter speeds of 1/60 and 1/125 second guarantee that the camera is ready for action even if the batteries fail. Shutter: The cloth focal-plane shutter of all Leica M cameras was completely revised for the LEICA M7 and fitted with electronical shutter speed control. For him it is “the ideal photographic tool in the world's trouble spots“. As one of the LEICA M7's first field testers, the winner of the World Press Photo Award 2000 tried out the camera in Uganda and Serbia. Besides added convenience, the automatic exposure time control enables even more spontaneity: “Leica M photography has formed my own personal photographic style - which I can now express even more quickly with the new LEICA M7,“ confirms Danish photographer Claus Bjørn Larsen. Even long exposures of up to 32 seconds are possible. After selection of the aperture, it calculates the right exposure time.

They are mainly used for press photography, available light pictures and all other areas of discreet, artistic and aesthetic image composition.Īutomatic exposure time control: In addition to the usual manual shutter speed setting, the LEICA M7 features a convenient stepless electronic automatic exposure time control with memory on the shutter release button. They embody ultimate mechanical and optical precision and put the skills of the photographer - not the features of the camera - in the foreground. Leica M cameras concentrate on the essential photographic parameters.

A major contribution to the success of the camera system was made by a whole series of innovative lenses, which form a complete high performance range for all photographic applications of the rangefinder system. The LEICA M6 - which will remain in Leica's product range as a fully mechanical alternative - was launched in 1984 and today is the most important product of the Leica Camera Group. A far-reaching step was taken with the introduction of the Leica M bayonet in 1954, which enhanced convenience and speed. Model by model, improvements were made, such as interchangeable lenses or the rangefinder, which are now an integral part of the M tradition. The Leica M system is closely associated with the names of famous photographers of our times and has direct traditional links to the UR-LEICA of 1914, which paved the way for modern 35mm photography. The high stability of the camera's value and the unique system compatibility over decades are the reward for our customers,“ says Domes. “In the fast changing world of products and cameras it's quite unusual to be spending so much effort on developing a concept that is nearly 50 years old. More than 350 newly designed or modified components are built into the camera. Automatic exposure time control is certainly not a technical innovation - but to incorporate it into a LEICA M without destroying the camera's soul was a great challenge“ adds Otto Domes, manager of the LEICA M7 development project. "LEICA M cameras are the products of many years of gradual development and are made intricately by hand. Others said: Modern automatic exposure time control. The design of the camera reconciles two conflicting customer demands: “Some customers said: Keep the camera just as it is. "M photography with the LEICA M7 is surprisingly new and at the same time familiar“, says Stefan Daniel, Head of Product Management at Leica Camera AG. Nearly all system components of the predecessor models can still be used on the M7. The size, shape and the successful operation concept of the LEICA M6 have all been fully adopted. Leica's unique rubber-cloth focal-plane shutter with vibration-free and whisper-quiet action is electronically controlled. The new functions have been smoothly integrated into the classic Leica M camera concept. On show at the PMA international photo fair in Orlando on 24th February 2002, the camera features enhanced operation speed and convenience. The LEICA M7 introduced by Leica Camera AG, Solms, is a new rangefinder system camera with aperture priority automatic exposure and many improved details.
